Roni Roommate took another test. Positive again. I'll schedule a tests in the next couple days to see if I've failed.

Just so people have the run down before I have those results, precautions taken before she pos'd - corsi cube in my bedroom, not sharing a lot of time in the common area but not especially cautious. Precautions taken since she pos'd - corsi cube in my bedroom, corsi cube in the one common room, masking ~18 hours a day in a secure click, and my bedroom is under positive pressure. Big obvious vulnerability is going to be the bathroom, as well as anything I carry from the common area into my bedroom (e.g. cooked meals).

If you get it, I doubt it’s going to be from going to the bathroom or bringing in food.

Like, yeah, your efforts aren’t absolute protection, but there are people behaving way worse in hospitals and hospitality and getting away with it.

Your real window of vulnerability is before she was tested.

yeah thats pretty good


e^ she gets tested a lot for work, she has some sort of hosed up freelancing at private schools as an arts teacher for little kids, so being slightly pedantic it's more like the big vulnerability is the period when she had it but below detection levels. and yeah you're right that is by far the biggest vulnerability but it's also in the rear window

how is your roommate taking the amped-up precautions? you two on a similar wavelength?

one thing that amused me in the early days of the pandemic was how offended my old roommate got when i started masking in the common areas when he spent two weeks coughing up his lungs (just allergies)

both roommates are cool about it, they're actually very grateful about the corsi cube, might change when we get the electric bill lol

she's got a bit of a sense of humor about it, shouts out "plague rat comin' through" when she leaves her room, though i think she thinks i'm being a little ridiculous masking up in the common areas (she's in kn95 any time her door is open, which is good but even if she thinks its enough i don't)

we could be more organized about showers, since y'know we're unmasking for that. One roommate showers at like 7 and I'm biased toward the afternoon but I think we could still be better about making sure there's at least a few hours gap each time

The electric bill won’t be a huge shock.

Even with two inefficient fans on their maximum settings and very expensive electricity, it’s only like a dollar fifty per day, forty‐five for a full month.

is there a kf94 with a better seal than the posh kf94 on behealthyusa? I need a quality, well sealing kf94 to give out to people that don't like the wrap around elastic of my 3m auras. ladies with long hair friggin hate the aura bands and I thought the posh kf94 would be a good substitute but the seal is mega sketch

Sorry if someone already answered it but I have to ask, are they tightening the earloops? The Posh KF94s have a different setup than BOTN or Bluna, the ear loops have to be first tucked into a small, incredibly hard to see slit on the bottom edges of the mask. Then once through they can be pulled tighter and/or knotted so it doesn't slide back out again.

I wonder how r/covid19positive has been lately:

https://www.reddit.com/r/COVID19positive/comments/u1h0nq/is_covid_getting_worse/ posted:

Is covid getting worse?

I genuinely can't tell what's going on anymore, everyone is running around acting like covid is dead meanwhile people are still catching it like crazy, people keep trying to say it'd just a rough cold but OH MY GOD it isn't, this poo poo completely knocked me and my husband on our at least so what healthy asses for two weeks now. We don't drink or smoke.

I think I'm just a little demoralized... we got the vaccine (phizer) a little later cause we were worried about health complications (husband was having heart issues) and we were complete and total hermits for two years, we only caught it in Feb of 2020 before quarantine and that was horrendous cause we did basically everything you could do wrong and didn't know what it was.

My point is I felt like the vaccine should have done more? I feel like it barely did anything to make it into this "meh cold" that we were promised, Husband hasn't even been back into the office that long, he was SO careful, constantly washing his hands etc. And now I'm just seeing so many people triple vaxxed and still getting it ROUGH... I'm really scared of permanent side effects and it feels like a roll of the dice each time we catch it? AND that some variants don't even give boosted immunity?

I donno, I feel like the media is so desperate to make things go back to normal one day and than casually reminding us it's deadly as gently caress the next, and I'm just mad that people who were allowed to work from home during this time are now being forced into a dangerous situation because jack off loving managers need to justify their pay and get their social.

Sorry I don't know if I should use the rant flair or if this is more of a vaccine discussion? I guess I'll put rant and I'll change it if someone thinks it should be otherwise

Edit: I got a little ramble-y so I'll try to refine what I'm trying to say, basically, is this new wave of covid way worse than normal? Cause it sure isn't just a "cold"
The narrative seems to be falling apart. Not great!

https://www.reddit.com/r/COVID19positive/comments/u1nm2i/when_to_hospitalize/ posted:

When to hospitalize?
Is there a standard of when to seek medical help outside of isolation? Like how severe does the chest pain need to be before going to the hospital?
:whitewater:

If you're having any amount of chest pain that should be a go directly to ER; do not pass go, do not collect $200

I was on the train today. The old guy next to me was dicknosing a kn or kf by having carefully folded it down. I just ignored it because at least he was wearing anything. Then the hacking coughs started.

I might have accidentally hit him with my bag fleeing to a different part of the train.

Also if anyone wasn't already aware, the entire shift from cases to hospitalizations was loving cosmic laser focused to make everyone forget covid exists. Now that covid wave is back again, nobody is going to know until it's way too late because hospitalizations are lagging and also there is minimal awareness etc.

Interestingly, guiding public health policies on hospitalizations is a great way to just let a disease spread freely because of the inherent lag time and the nature of covid itself not causing large amounts of hospital admissions.

Cool stuff, neato country.
